Personally, I never liked agile. I like to get a description of a problem. Prototype. Take that to that customer and ask for feedback. Iterate. QA. QA. QA. Release. Thing is, much like governments, these models all fall short because people aren’t great. I think that if agile isn’t working for a team they should try another method, and if agile does work for a team that’s fantastic. People, imho, shouldn’t blindly follow a methodology in religious fashion. They should try different stuff until something works for them.
